Tom Nook isn’t the bad guy, he’s actually good. Bells are converted into Japanese yen. So if you take your first home loan from ACNH, and convert it into USD. You’ll get 914 dollars.
Oh wow..
m a t h
I-
Wow.
So he’s donating to the hospital for the COVID crisis
I appreciate him now
If you think Nook’s story is sad just wait until you get to Sable
*oh* gosh
You're not kidding. Plus there's Isabelle and Digby.
Yep ive already heard it
hello there
And she has to be with that sonic wannabe.
Maybe his trauma is the reason why he always looks sad.
Maybe that's also why he wasn't as nice in the first few games. Stuff like what he went through will change the way you think sadly.
I know 😕 everyone is so mean to him. That’s why I always try to be extra nice to him. I visit him about 4 times every day. And even if I don’t need to talk business I just stay in resident Services for like 2 minutes. (I know I’m a weirdo!)
Felt that
Wow
**casually bursts into Resident Services and leaps over the counter to give Tom Nook a hug**

I almost died of happiness
Why, thank you!

Man , this was so sad. The story , I mean
I want cinnamon buns nowwwww
I want to like the comment but it’s at 299 likes.
Lmao
Someone actually made a dark but interesting comic about what "the incident" was. I can't find it, but basically Redd got Tom working in the black market with him. They did some shady jobs but Redd crossed the line when he tried to get Tom in on an Animal Trafficking scheme. This comic is also an origin story for Timmy and Tommy, the two being orphans who are kidnapped by Redd to be sold, and then later freed and adopted by Tom. I really like it even though it's a bit too dark for the series. It definitely makes Tom's hate for Redd justified though, and makes the relationship between Tom and the Nooklings much more interesting.
One thing I thought is that Tom was abused by Redd and bullied by him
link???? i need to see
I hate when people think tom is stealing your bells :(
Tom is really sweet! And takes care of your island!
And he is the one who gives you a home to stay in!
He gives you a no rent home! And you can upgrade it if you want.
Tom is the best T ~ T
Yea people are just acting like a bunch of Karen’s lol
I’m wrong but I’m still going to keep talking so
Tom Nook: that’s ____ bells
Karen:

Tom: I AM THE MANAGER
Ms Cherry Blossom!! Yeah! We should step up and defend Tom nook!
Ms Cherry Blossom!! Well when I buy something and sell it to him he gives me less money!
Yes, finally some attention to Tom Nook.
Edit: Pretty cliche, but thank for the likes.
Yes 😌
Now I like Tom nook a little bit
yes yes
I Didn’t:t even Read this comment- But it had 99 Likes- So I just Liked it because is was uneven-
My island name calls him fat-
I’m so sorry tom
itz X pearl :)
I was just reading up on the tanuki - apparently male tanukis are really great dads! They bring the females food when they're pregnant, and help raise the pups when they're born. If that's not the cutest thing ever, I don't know what is.
This kinda reminds me of a grandmother telling her grandkids a story on a snowy day. This is really cool!
Merci Exists sorry can’t like *tHe LiKeS aRe 69 B-u-U-dD*
Yessssss!
Your profile picture is really cute
@@pandaoveryander3505 I was just about to comment the same thing! :)
alright here’s my timmt and tommy theory: while tom was going through hard times, he went back to his tree stump to just sit and think, he then saw timmy and tommy inside the stump, with no one in sight to care for them, so he took them in ( there’s no evidence of this i just want it to be true :) )
That's actually like,,,, a really noice theory lol
ᴇʟʟɪᴇ Maybe after a decade or so the creators will make this theory true!
Whos timmt
@@gone_blank is this a troll or
Thats so cute!! I love that theory!!
Nook do really need a hug doe
*I WANT TO HUG TOM NOOK*
can that be an option
I want that to be an option
I wish i could give nook a hug 🥺
Gacha Marco *nook and yes I’m after u
spicedragonquill I will hug him till he says no
Dude I do daily clappings at him
"Bellionaire" made me cry of laughter
it's in the game lol, you can unlock this title if you make enough profits from turnips!
@@theskitty27 Really! I had no idea. I should probably start buying more turnips
Florence LeBlanc I have it lol
Foolish mortals I use cj as my bell machine
@@floati9060 that beaver is so rich he is a money making machine
There is only one crook in Animal Crossing and that's Jolly Redd!!! Tom is a true folk hero and I won't hear anything against him
Jordyn Brocksmith totally agree
Redd sold me a fake painting
Don't forget Wisp 👹
Amen 👏
I think I know what happened! So maybe when Tom was in the city he met redd and they became close friends (even business partners) but redd could have taken advantage of Tom at one point and since they were so close redd could have in a way taken all of toms money, wither it be asking for money, scamming him, or just literally steal from him. This could be why Tom didnt talk to sable a lot since for a long time he had trust issues and didn’t want a repeat of what happened with Redd, but is starting to regain her trust once more (this explains why sable and Mabel have a shop on the island) also I think that redd and Tom could have met during the city since how you stated Tom was somewhat a bad kid in school and we can tell just from gameplay that Redd probably was a bad person in his ‘golden years’
Great video btw! Keep up the good work!
This is so underrated!
Sweet Sugar94 that actually makes sense! Game theory should make a whole timeline of redd and Tom Nook’s relationship and backstory!
Sana tysm Lol!
A VERY messy break-up indeed!
YES! That'd be such a good storyline for Redd and Tom and maybe explain why he's copying him!
This comment section is the Tom Nook Protection Squad and I absolutely love that.
Palpitube not to be rude or anything but why does ur profile pic resemble a realistic sable? If that’s not it then I’m very sorry
@@just_kuroo6204 It is. It's just some random digital art I made a few months ago. For some odd reason, I prefer drawing in a semi-realistic style. (I don't know why, but whenever I try to draw in animal crossing's art style, it doesn't look right)
I was gonna make a new profile pic soon though
@@just_kuroo6204 This comment is hilarious seeing their current pfp
Honestly I feel bad for the man. He’s a good person, why does he get so much hate? 👁
TomOfTheNooks because he takes people’s money and stuff. He is just doing his job 😀😀
@@hadesfortune3270 Those same people would complain if Tom Nook wasn't in ACNH.
@@hadesfortune3270 do they think houses are for free or smth? Bruh, what’s the point of having bells then?
Yes, the rents are enormous, but it's a house he's making and upgrading. Obviously he's gonna make it expensive. Start using ya' brains, people.
Cause he’s a big guy in economy, economy is a hard job with alot of people hating you
See Tom nook is just misunderstood and everyone says he’s evil
That's probably because his haters a stupid
But that doesn't mean all Foxes are evil
I feel just like him
No one:
Literally not a singe soul:
Tom Nook: THE FARMERS MARKET BARGAIN BIN CONSTELLATION
Finally someone talking about Tom nook’s past I’ve been waiting for this
Sabel really said: Tom- Mr. Nook
They had a thing. PERIODT. 👏
Now I want to know about Redds and Tom Nooks relationship...
Pretty sure there’s a comment in here talking about a theory of that but a video would be cool too
The entire internet:
*mArRiAge*
́Cookie_ Maniac one day... ONE DAY... I shall make a theory on my channel soon!
(Also I really like you’re profile pic)
@@just_kuroo6204 Thanks! (Ill prob check it out)
@@mr-candy-corn IKR DON'T THEY HATE EACH OTHER??
ooooooohhh, id definitely like a series
Yes
He is one of my favourite NPCs. People say he's only in it for the money but he is kind hearted and cares for the player.
Ello ello ello, my lovelies!
Tom Nook is really misunderstood. Also I liked Tom Nook before the videos so yeah
(I still don’t know why I said “Ello ello ello, my lovelies!”, I feel like it is something Krisella would say)
Nook is too underrated. He literally makes animal crossing.....animal crossing. He is the only reason the game has challenge and lore of such. Without nook the game would have less things to work for and the game would go by faster. We should give the boy more love
I nearly screamed when she started taking 😂
are you the goddess of geese?
@@griffin7358 no their a god and a godess
Lol
Hello goose friend. I am also a fellow goose.
Eshaan Lal ah yes another fellow goose of mine.
Small detail that i think you missed your previously videos- The flowers in front of Isabelle change. i think it changes for the season. there were yellow tulips in spring and red roses in summer.
My theory:
After "the incident" Tom doesn't really trust anyone anymore. He found Timmy and Tommy about to sell their bells to Redd, and then Nook just took them in after he stopped Redd. Nook then met Isabelle, and then they became friends. Nook, lastly, meets you. He thinks that although you barely have any money, you might be the one to help him get his dreams back. That is why he recruited you to the deserted getaway package. He wants your help.
Was Tom's downfall the reason he was only wearing an apron for years?
He just couldn’t afford a shirt for so long...
I used to be so mad with Tom, always forcing me to pay him. Watching this makes me want to write him a billion letters saying sorry and give him all the loan money he needs :0
"...Oh, didn't see you there."
* me standing infront of her * BOI-
Susan The Weirdo Sameeeeeeeee
I didn’t know that Tom Nook had a sad past I hoop he and the able sisters will get back together
People think he’s evil, he’s not. Just watch this video lol, the fox was Redd btw
awww this made me realize just how nice tom nook really is
dogeian same
This is exactly what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting this.
When you realize that every other town before new horizons is now dead because Tom left the able sisters left the museum left and basically anything they need is now gone
I can't believe people still hate Tom just because he was kinda mean in the old games. I mean I can see why, but he had to act like that since he already was having a hard time in the city so I wouldn't blame him acting that way because of how stressed he could of been. But luckily, he is much more nicer and isn't forcing others anymore. He even lets others pay their bills whenever. I sometimes like to think that during his downfall, money was his only friend when leaving Sable since he already had trust issues after meeting Redd
I believe that “the incident” between that shifty fox and Nook was that he, referring to the fox, developed a friendship with Nook. Then one day, the fox convinced Nook to buy some fake artwork for a high price. Nook, being the trusting man he is, accepted the offer and gave away tons of bells. When Nook found out the artwork was a phony, he was furious. He went out to find the devious fox that had scammed him only to find he skipped town. Nook vowed to never let anybody hurt him again, ruining his friendship with Sable and turning him into the greedy man he is. Over the years, he’s softened and gradually mended his relationship with Sable. Thus making him the happy tanooki he once was.
I love how your legs still *wiggle* when you talk about such *serious* things
Oh, and by the way, I had my audio turned up at full percent.. I forgot and when Krisselia started talking out of nowhere I nearly fell off my bed. :)
Adelanna me too
(Kinda)
Loved it! Thanks Krisselia!
Ew gacha
BubbaIsWeird Ew unnecessary comment
Y'all be nice to gamer girl ella she being nice so stop
Thanks for those who are supporting me I hope you have an amazing day.
You to gamer girl ella
I loved this video!! It perfectly captures Tom's sad past.
Which is why Tom's current favorite song being 'lament' makes me cry every time
Technically, Thomas Nookins is broke. First off, HE AIN’T MAKING NO MONEY. You catch fish and bugs to sell to him, and he gives you his money. Gosh darn it, most of that money probably goes to mortgage. Occasionally I’ll buy something from him, but that’s still his money. SO CAN YALL STOP CALLING HIM EVIL!?
OctoPie Umm his name is Tom Nook
OctoPie wait you can buy stuff from him?
We give hundreds of thousands of bells quite often... BRUH HE IS’NT EVIL BUT HE IS A BELLIONAIRE !!
I wish the "farmers market bargain bin consolation" was a real consolation
Btw Tom Nook found Timmy and Tommy when he went to the city. He found them homeless and adopted them ❤️
*in a dark creepy voice* “don’t forget to subscribe” Me: Ummm I’m scared
Internet: he is bad a robbet and is evil
The game: I won’t put pressure on you and I will be here if you need me
*robber
This video was very relaxing! I really enjoyed learning more about Nook! None the less this video was very interesting.
I would always believe, Tom Nook adopted Timmy and Tommy as not only a way to run the shop when he put grew it to stay in the family but as a way to help himself heal from the damage Redd had caused him. Hopefully in smaller updates dialogue like that can be added where maybe they can get Tom Nook in animal crossing new horizons to leave his post once in a while to reminisce about the past and where he wanted to go forward.
Wow, what a wholesome lovely video. Really makes you see him in a new light, as people i know normally dislike him.
Do you think that Sable is jealous of Isabelle seeing Tom every day?
This video did the impossible it made me care for Tom Nook and I’m not mad about that.
Tom nook is actually inspiring. I think that he might be scared he might ‘Run out of money’ and end up poor like he was. That’s why he always asks for money and so much of it.
How do people villainize him!? I just want to hug him sometimes.
Ikr?
"Bellionaire"...
*CREATIVITY AT IT'S MAX*
i feel like Krisselia could make a great narrator. Keep up the work, can't wait to hear more! The rise and fall of Tom Nook is the mirror universe of what real economics are about.
I feel bad that Tom Nook had such a bad past. I am glad that he is happy now.
❤️❤️❤️
Tom deserves some attention

"Bellionaire" I'm crying
I used to be on the bandwagon of Tom haters until I started talking to him more and realized how much he helped me through the beginning of the game. Celebrating every time I built something new on my Island.. now one of my favorite parts of the day in game is going into resident services to see him and use the Nook stop 😊. Always give people at least a little chance.
Theonlydezman i never hated Tom Nook, I just found him as a caring villager, oh wait he isn’t a villager. Or is he?
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUN!!
And that's the story about why I stopped calling Tom Nook satan
This is the best animal crossing channel I've found so far :)
6:58 actually I’m grateful for Tom Nook so y’all found me.
Tommy and Timmy were abandoned orphans that Tom adopted. He also mentions that because of this he donates a high percentage of his profits to an orphanage in a nearby town.
What a coincidence! I was just looking up stuff about Mr Nook so I could draw him. (I like to know their story before I draw them)
Same
I wonder, what time of year we can see the Farmer's Market Bargain Bin constellation?
I just loved so much the format of the video from the second it started!
He’s so wholesome I love that man so much..
Sameee (no homo)
3 months ago, i already knew Nook's past, so i just terraformed a Nook's face on my island and wrote "Tom Nook is *NOT* a bad guy!"
Early! I love your channel and I’m excited for the video ☺️
I really love how you put so much effort in your videos and it really shows. Oh and I really adore your accent!
alright, you’ve earned my subscribe 🥺💗
Didn’t know that fox was bad I never buying a painting from him again 😡
Andrew I think u mean “I didn’t know that redd was bad, I’m never buying a painting from him ever again 😡”
@@just_kuroo6204 And I think you mean "I think you mean, "I didn't know that Redd was bad, I'm never buying a painting from him again. 😡"
i love this channel and im definitely going to subscribe! ❤️
Didn’t Lyle also have a sort of shady background that connected with Redd & Tom Nook, although he wasn’t as bad as Redd so Tom decided to forgive him?
Lyle in Wild World would sell insurance and also ask what day of the week the Player wanted Redd to visit their town in that game behind a survey and wouldn't take "no" for an anwser.
I think it’s quite cute he goes, “Hm,” and “yes, yes”
“Yes I’ll buy your bells so I can make u pay my money back”
“Ahem 🥺”
These Animal Crossing lore videos are great! I hope to see more of them!
I honestly LOVE Zipper and Tom Nook :3
Congrats on 30K
